Kingdoms Advent: Day 23
Dec23
Calendar Ends in 3…2…
Day Twenty Three – Alchemy Workbench
My Advent-Senses are tingling. I think we’re in the midst of an “Inverted Sub-Theme” here.
Yesterday’s Owl, today’s mystical workbench….I think they’re accessories to go with a special mini-figure lurking behind door 24.
As mini-sets go, this is another “near hit”. There are some nice detail bits, but the set as a whole is kind of lacking. I’ve called this an “Alchemy Workbench” – but it could as easily be just a chef’s table. I guess it boils down to guessing what that gold-toned 1×1 is supposed to represent. Why is it being heated?
Here’s a better question: Is the wooden table itself on fire?
Oh well. Just one day to go. Let’s hope things end with a bang!
The goal of alchemy (or at least one of them) was to turn other metals into gold, so that good circle could be the byproducts of the reaction (therefore somewhat confirming the “alchemist’s table” theory).
Either that or it’s just representing a generic liquid of some sort. A potion shop, perhaps?
I wouldn’t even know it was an Alchemy Table. But, if I’m not mistaken… There will be something magical behind Day 24.
FIRST!! 😀
Also, the gold isn’t being melted; it’s probably a bunch of materials being successfully turned into gold. The alchemists tried (and failed) to do that all the time back in the day.
Maybe this workbench is actually owned by a cartel of trans-global criminals, who are melting down gold to make counterfeit gold bullion?
